A Horse team was galloping through the wilderness. The Horse team was pointing in the direction of Storm City. Riding a warhorse, he ran at the front of the group. Regis and the others followed closely behind. Behind them were a hundred Inch Fire Warriors. As for the technical team, they stayed in Sur City for the time being. After Storm City calmed down, Edward sent them over.
"Why is Storm City surrounded?" Lucy rode her horse to Allen's side and asked.
She was asking the thoughts of the people beside her. After hearing that Storm City had been attacked, Allen decided to leave immediately, but he didn't have time to explain the specific reason to everyone.
Hearing Lucy's question, he said, "It was done by the private armies of other nobles. I thought the Black Iron Castle had gone back on its word, but that's not the case."
According to Edward, the cause of the incident had to start more than a month ago. At that time, a merchant group came from the imperial sea and landed at Purple Roland Harbor. They had once found the Lily Merchant Guild, hoping to cooperate. However, after that, they found Storm City. The reason was that the Lily Merchant Guild had acted as an agent for the textile fabrics produced in Sur City. Once this fabric was imported into the empire, it quietly became popular in the market. This foreign caravan came precisely because of the name. At that time, Allen returned to Earth, while Edward went to Storm City to take care of some government affairs.
After hearing that Edward was in Storm City, the merchant group went to look for him and hoped to cooperate with Sur City for a long time. However, they didn't have the slightest bit of sincerity. After contacting them, Edward personally heard them offer an abnormally low purchase price, so he tactfully rejected them. After that, the representative of the caravan was very angry when he left, and even put down words like telling Edward to be careful.
Edward naturally didn't take such a threat to heart. The next morning, he returned to Sur City. However, the caravan was still in Storm City, and the caravan guards were causing trouble in the city. Roy, who was in charge of guarding Storm City, naturally wouldn't be polite to them. He ordered the soldiers to arrest them all. Only after the caravan paid the required deposit did they release the guards.
After that, the caravan left. However, not long after, several armies arrived at the city. Roy naturally would not agree to Storm City's request for compensation for the caravan's losses, so the troops stationed outside the city and surrounded it.
In the end, Edward said with certainty, "This is a trap, a trap from start to finish. That caravan and their guards causing trouble is just an excuse for the noble army behind them to besiege the city. "
Hearing this, Lucy couldn't help but sigh, "What a standard aristocratic practice."
Two days later, they entered the territory of Storm City. On the grassland outside the city, one could see a camp in the distance. There were all kinds of flags fluttering in the tent, but judging from the patterns, they could be divided into three types. The first one was the emblem of a Chinese redbud flower, with a poisonous snake coiling beneath it. The second one was a castle on a mountain peak, with a golden sun hanging behind it. The last one was a unicorn, running on a land full of thorns.
These three emblems naturally represented different nobles. Allen silently memorized them and watched the battlefield from afar. At this moment, the three noble alliance armies were attacking Storm City. Storm City used the two cannons on the city wall as firepower suppression, and then used the fire/gun squad to form a close-range firepower net, using the advantage of condescension to suppress the enemy's attack.
On the other side of the steel mill and the weapons workshop, a row of temporary fortifications was built. The defensive performance of these temporary workers was naturally not as good as the high walls of Storm City, so Roy arranged for the shooters equipped with Origin Energy rifles to be on that side, along with the King Of Mountains troops to guard the factory. It wasn't much easier to take down that factory than to take down Storm City.
The three noble private armies added up to more than two thousand people. In terms of strength alone, it was naturally much better than Storm City. However, in terms of quality, it was far from being able to compare. After Storm City was taken down by Allen, the army had been reorganized many times and had continuously added and upgraded equipment. Its combat strength was no longer comparable to that of an ordinary noble army.
Especially the King Of Mountains, the Dark Blade, and the Origin Energy Rifle Squad, all of them were much higher than the average noble army. Therefore, although the three noble allied armies had a large number of soldiers, Roy used defensive tactics. With Bloy, Belmore, and the other experts as the fulcrum of the defensive network, along with the three special squads and the original Knight Regiment and army of Storm City, they firmly held onto the position within a hundred meters of Storm City.
Storm City was like a reef standing in a sea of rage. The enemy's tide of soldiers surged wildly, but they were unable to push down this reef.
Of the three armies, an army with a unicorn flag was constantly attacking the factory's position. That army had the largest number, and cavalry actually accounted for half of it. These cavalry wielded the advantage of mobile troops and continuously organized attacks to attack the position. At the end of one wave, another wave rose. After each attack, regardless of whether they had any gains or not, they would disperse from both sides, giving the subsequent echelon room to continue attacking.
Occasionally, one or two powerful auras would erupt from the enemy. That was when the experts of the enemy attacked. Often at this time, Broy's rough and tough aura would rise, and then a drum-like collision of Origin Energy would appear on the battlefield. Broy was very powerful and became an important fulcrum on the factory's defensive line. He was like an indestructible god of war. As long as the King Of Mountains Army had him, everyone's aura would be like a rainbow.
Allen observed for a moment and said to Woody, the officer behind him, "Captain, the war you want is right in front of you. Perform well."
"No problem, sir." Woody turned around and shouted at the warriors of the Inch Fire Unit, "Boys, it's time for us to perform. Let the country bumpkins of these planets see the might of our Sirius army! "
The warrior raised his gun and responded with a loud bang.
Woody pointed at two second lieutenants and waved his hand towards the battlefield. Then, he quietly left with the Inch Fire Unit.
The battlefield was filled with life-risking killings, but the noble alliance army suddenly discovered that an army without a number or flag had suddenly joined the battlefield from the left flank of the alliance army. The trajectory of their advance was clear, and it was incomparably clear that they were heading straight for the private army with the unicorn flag emblem. The commander of the army didn't care when he saw this. Casually pointing, a Knight brigade and three hundred infantry left their team and charged towards Inch Fire.
Suddenly, an Inch Fire unit split into two groups. Under the leadership of a second lieutenant, they covered each other and advanced. In the blink of an eye, they started to fight with the private army. Woody was at the front of the army. He even bit a cigarette, his left hand holding a saber and his right hand holding a pistol. Woody's aura suddenly exploded as he charged straight towards one of the captains in charge of leading the enemy. Even without the enhancement of other equipment, his combat strength was still a genuine first-class combat strength on this battlefield.
The enemy captain was only Level 15, and his aura was immediately eaten by Woody. Woody was experienced. He waved his saber and quickly took the legs of the saber. The saber light flashed, and the enemy cavalry immediately lost their front hooves, causing the captain to fall off his horse. The other party rolled and stood up with his sword in hand. Woody had already arrived. He waved the saber in his hand so tightly that it could not be penetrated. The saber momentum was like mercury pouring down the ground. After the captain blocked more than a dozen sabers, Woody caught a flaw. With a twist of his saber, he sent the opponent's longsword flying. Then, with a wave of his left hand, he shot a bullet hole in the opponent's helmet.
The captain didn't understand why Woody's pistol was so powerful that it actually pierced through the helmet made of two layers of fine steel. Naturally, he didn't know that the one in Woody's hand was a Origin Energy pistol.
There was no suspense in the following battle. The Inch Fire Army could be said to be armed to the teeth, and each of them had a set of Blazing Battle Soldiers. The power of the Flame Fighting Rifle in the hands of the warrior was astonishing. The rough voice that caused one's heart to palpitate became a soul-stirring song on the battlefield. Wherever the gunfire went, the enemy was harvested like straw.
The Inch Fire Army quickly ate the intercepting army and forcefully pierced through the enemy's rear. The two separated squads cooperated exquisitely, constantly expanding the enemy's wounds. The speed was so fast that by the time the commander of the unicorn army reacted, the rear of the army was already out of formation. At this moment, he could no longer care about attacking the factory's position. He ordered the cavalry to turn around, hoping to use their superior strength to eat this reinforcements.
However, when the cavalry turned around and charged, Woody chuckled and made a gesture. Immediately, the Inch Fire Army formed a clearly layered firing formation. There were three rows in front and back, and the firing formation of more than 50 people faced the cavalry of more than 400 people. According to the military common sense of this era, even if these fifty people were to concentrate their fire, the cavalry would only need to sacrifice a hundred people at most to break through the opponent's firing formation in one fell swoop.
However, when he saw the rough rifle in the hands of the Inch Fire Army, the unicorn commander's heart skipped a beat. He felt that he had missed something. As Woody swung his saber down, all the Flame Fighting Rifles activated their magic energy patterns. The rifles lit up one by one. Then, a Blazing Fire Missile dragged a bright flame tail and whistled through the battlefield, leaving behind a shocking trajectory. It landed in a parabola among the cavalry.
Immediately, a series of explosions rang out. The cavalry seemed to have collided head-on with a heavy artillery bombardment, and the hundreds of cavalry in the front row were immediately sent flying by the explosion. Following that, the horses and bodies were blown down by the explosion. However, before this round of bombardment passed, another wave of fireballs shot over.
The unicorn commander's eyes were stung by the dazzling flames. He stood there in a daze for a few seconds. Just like that, more than half of the cavalry that he was proud of had been killed or injured by the opponent's two waves of bombardment. The rate of battle damage was simply too fast. After two rounds of bombardment, a dazzling blank appeared on the battlefield. Before the commander could react, the Flame Fighting Rifle's roar of a ferocious beast rang out once again, and a torrential barrage of bullets harvested the remaining cavalry.
The commander couldn't help but make a gesture. The messenger beside him had a pale face. He raised the battle flag and continuously waved the flag of retreat. If they didn't withdraw, the cavalry that had been established with great difficulty would be completely crippled. The commander didn't dare to imagine how he would face his immediate superior when he returned.
This was too far from their original plan!
